Holding
In this proceeding, which invokes this Court’s original jurisdiction, the primary issue that we consider is whether a circuit court has the authority, pursuant to Code § 19.2-156, to appoint an attorney-at-law to serve as acting attorney for the Commonwealth because of the prolonged absence of the duly elected Commonwealth’s Attorney.
